I don’t want to post too many vents but I need to get this off my chest. I am SO mentally exhausted of being treated badly by other people in the TES fandom who also love Teldryn and ship their characters with him. I’ve had several people on Instagram put me down for shipping Cimba (my Khajiit) with Teldryn but now a few people here have done the same thing. I really don’t want to leave the TES fandom and I don’t want to stop doing art and fanfictions of Cimba and Teldryn. They’ve been such a great comfort to me over the past few years and have gotten me through a lot of shit including the worst break-up I’ve had and the deaths of my ex-partner and cat. I have BPD, C-PTSD, and struggled with self-harm/suicidal thoughts for most of my adulthood and Cimba is a reflection of all of that. Writing fanfictions about her and Teldryn’s relationship has really helped me cope with and process my mental struggles. The fact that others in the TES fandom are willing to take that away from me is just so fucking hurtful. I really wish I didn’t care, but I cannot handle being treated like this by people who also love the same character as I do (and the fact that these people are much older than me). I’ve literally cried over what these people have done to me.

I had a really rough week and was actually starting to feel better yesterday, but I’ve fallen back into that depressive pit again. I’m probably going to feel very unmotivated to do art for a while… I’m just so tired of how disrespectful and immature people in this fandom can be.

Thank you to those who has been kind to me and supportive of my art, it really does mean the world to me ♥️

it genuinely breaks my heart that yet another one of my friends/mutuals has been so negatively affected by this fandom. people here are like.... genuinely uniquely nasty. you saw what i went through earlier myself. it's beyond frustrating. it's cliquey and so oddly hostile.

i know i've said this before, but it brings me major comfort seeing how much Cimba means to you like Robin means to me. unfortunately people like that will never understand the personal depth and importance of these characters, and that's okay. it says more about them than you. than both of us, lol. obviously ignoring the negative attention is easier said than done, especially with C-PTSD (shaking your hand), but i'm proud of you for still posting regardless. we need more genuine and vulnerable stories and art/characters like this.

i still look at the doodle you did of Cimba and Robin and it means a lot to me. :3 i'll have a gift for you ready soon btw. <3

..... also it's insane how the 30 year olds here are so. um. uniquely immature lmao

re: the MANY replies and interactions i’ve gotten on my tesblr activity post.

i think from my understanding after the engagement with the post, the sense of the fandom “dying” comes from notably how a lot of original folks in the fandom (blogs where a lot of the fandom could find each other) have either left or migrated elsewhere off of Tumblr. i’ve seen MANY people say that their dash has been much less active. my guess is that a lot of new folk have entered the community, so it’s just a shift in the general community population that me and many others haven’t caught on to? which is MORE than appreciated and welcomed, of course!

the more i think about it, the more it’s just a shift in the kind of people who are active. i don’t see a lot of “popular” tes blogs anymore. i think it’s for the better, though!

super glad to see i was wrong about it being “dead.” interactions are still a struggle for lots of us, but i’m glad that i’ve found LOADS of cool new mutuals through that post!

🌑 ✧ 【 ғᴀᴏʟᴀʜɴ of ᴡɪʟᴅsᴘᴇᴀʀ 】 .

✦ 6/21/25 . Faolahn, my Lesser Demiprince; related to Cervynus through being sons of Hircine. info under the cut ➴

From his Toyhouse:

Hailing from the Wildspear Clan in the Reach, Faolahn dedicates his time to The Hunt -- often found travelling between the Druadach Mountains and the Whiterun plains in the name of Hircine's art. He is semi-nomadic, often settling in temporary camps while focusing on his hunting endeavors. Faolahn is Hircine's son, after all.

Faolahn sees his lycanthropy as not only a blessing, but his most genuine form of self. Transforming into his human body -- which has the very wolfish traits of the Man-Beast he is -- is a foreign experience, a disguise to‎ ‎him more than anything, yet a form he will take if deemed necessary. Faolahn associates his human counterparts with any other form of prey; they are worthy game in the eyes of his Clan.

Other passions of his includes leatherwork, scrimshaw, woodworking, foraging, Conjuration magick, and‎ playing his buckskin drum or hand-carved flute. He also has a great love for fire magick and rituals.

Some more tidbits...

Faolahn is named after Faolan Red Eagle, an important figure in his culture's history.

Is a "lesser" Demiprince of Hircine, having been conceived by two human parents, yet born as a physical manifestation of the Prince

Also worships Namira and Peryite.

Is non-monogamous; has more than one mate.

Has full control over his lycanthropy; he does not transform against his will like other werewolves.

Hunts with a spear; fights with his teeth, claws, and fire magick.

Resembles Cervynus, the main Demiprince of Hircine.

Smells of leather, musky pine, and iron.

Heavily dislikes remaining in his "human" / Man-Beast form for too long, as well as being perceived as human; it sounds like an insult for others to consider Faolahn consuming humans as "cannibalism."

bonus art from August 25' of Fao with his werebear mate, Kag, who belongs to @bonestrewncrest 🖤

This should be an ear option for Asura

[otvian]

ATTENTION ALL ASURA ROLEPLAYERS AND OTHER! EVENT COMING YOUR WAY!

[into-theocean]

Gw2 writing would hate to see me coming bc if it were up to me then the different charr legions would be inspired by different big civilizations all with their own notable architecture, names, and "looks" (as in not just being one big conglomerate charr look but taking after different animals or cultures with more intent like the new charr faces for EoS)

Iron legion would be based on the Aztec empire btw, due to how technologically advanced they were and seeing an indigenous, non industrialized take on the "steampunk" or heavy industrial = advanced trope

But yeah😔

After being asked to draw Jack's asura with Rumi's hairstyle from K-Pop Demon Hunters I, of course, had to take it one step further and create the entire squad. May I present to you Tyria's own squad: The Sharktrix! Three cute sharkrats ready to kill any demon, FOR THE FAAAANS! Featuring Mia, Neevi and Gekka <3 My art is sponsored by ArenaNet

[wheatskers]

Redid Iphigenia's design and lore. Ex-Flame Legion who was made an example of so she's covered in burn scars and has molten metal fused with her flesh. She'll be my amalgam (going with a more molten metal sort of vibe).

More just playing with nouveau style clothing because I cannot help myself.

So new Asura hairstyles have dropped and while they're nice and all, I'm still a bit disappointed that neither of them are long styles, fancy updos, or curly. Like yes I know not every single hairstyle ever can be added, it's still a let down to me

I also feel like in general, given how in EoD we received alot of lovely Korean styled looks, with this expansion we should've got like a biotechnology looks/styles to match whether soft and more organic or sharp and sleek

I'm holding out hope for the charr hairstyles since we haven't seen them yet, but other than that I'm feeling pretty "meh" when it comes to the new styles released

[magecrow]

hello friends, I am making an asura maker on picrew!

I have also severely underestimated just how much work goes into something like this 😅 for the first release, I cannot feasibly add every single feature and permutation

so I would like to ask you guys— what does your favorite asura character look like? please show them off to me

common features, I will try my best to add for the first release

cheers! 💚

[golden-moir]

Here's my rats!

[magecrow]

a little side project I've been chipping away at— picrew asura customizer! 😄

[rata-whitz]

Stuck in this limbo of:

- Being excited for the first (mini)expac in this new model since they started it

- Dreading Anets Inquest writing

VOE looks genuinely beautiful and I'm excited to explore it! But historically ANET has been god-awful at presenting the Inquest as anything other than cartoonish, which is fun! I enjoy it, but...when a large majority of the most vocal members of the fandom online seem to dislike Asura content on principle (viewed as the mcguffin characters) I'm just worried that we will never get anything from the actual Asuran culture besides Inquest.

If people complain about the Inquest (happened before, will again) we won't get any sort of development or further exploration of their culture again in the future. And if the first two maps aren't even half as good as what Sandswept was like- that was a damn good map and story, they've got a lot to live up to and I don't think they're going to be able to meet the quality of what was a free, living world release.

I just think the Inquest need to be less physically prevalent, they're a great representation of the worst parts of Asuran culture, but it's all you ever get to see and i dont need to see more of it to be convinced. Too many of them die in vast numbers, and I 100% get why and how easy it is for Asura to fall into the Inquest rabbit hole, it's built that way.

Hopefully they're just here to uncover whatever the actual threat is, because hell. It sure isn't the Inquest.

I'll fuckin tell you what though I cannot wait for grouchy old charr and wizard banter between Isgarren and Rytlock, they're both delightfully miserable fucks!

(Also it's an investigation into the mysteries of the Inquest, were off to collect information. That has GOT to be the perfect point to introduce the detective agency between Gorrik, Min and Marjory, right?? Pls anet.)
